Dear Branham Tabernacle,
Greetings to the Bride of Jesus Christ from around the world, who believe the Branham Tabernacle, the Voice of God, is their home church where they are being spiritually fed by the hidden Manna that has been stored up and preserved for the Bride of Christ.
This is my home base; this is my headquarters; here’s where we’re set up at. Now, hold that in mind no matter what takes place. Now, if you’re wise, you’ll catch something. No matter what takes place, this is our headquarters, right here!
Many believers have always misunderstood or placed their own idea or interpretation to what the prophet said here, but he is telling the Bride straight, “if you’re wise, you’ll catch something, this is our headquarters, right here!”
What did he mean by that?
When Brother Branham was here, many misunderstood him and thought the Bride had to go to Arizona and follow him there, to be in the Rapture. Brother Branham answered them clearly: STAY HERE, THIS IS THE PLACE.
A whole big group of them took off that way, and they wanted to go this and do that, after I told them to stay there. Stay there, stay right here; this is the place.
People took off from everywhere around the United States to go to Arizona, but he clearly told them: Stay right here, this is the place!
Stay in Jeffersonville? That is what he said!
My Revelation is, it was God, speaking through His prophet and telling the people, “STAY WITH THE TAPES.” That is THE PLACE!
He was so upset and said he had to do something with all them people. What must he do? What church would he send them to? Where should they go? What did Brother Branham say he must do?
So now, I’ve got to bring them kids back here for something to eat. They’re down there in the desert starving.
He didn’t say they would need to go to a local church and get what little nuggets they could feed upon. He said he must bring them BACK HERE for something to eat, or they would STARVE TO DEATH.
MY REVELATION, FRIENDS.
Now, not to once again misunderstand him, or say something he didn’t say, by saying, “Brother Branham wanted every believer to move to Jeffersonville to be the Bride.” Brother Branham knew all them people, and EVERY believer from around the world, could not move and live in Jeffersonville. That would be impossible. So what did he mean? He was UNITING the Bride of Christ around the TAPES that had been recorded and stored up for the Bride to feed upon.
This Message, This Voice, is God’s Spoken Word for today and It will unite and perfect the Bride of Jesus Christ.
The carcase is what the eagles feed on. Now, a eagle is considered in the Bible, a prophet. A prophet is a eagle. God—God calls Himself a Eagle, and we’re “eaglets” then, the—the believers. You see? And what is the carcase that they feed on? Is the Word. Wherever the Word is, the true nature of the bird will show itself.
Where is the pure, vindicated, no misunderstandings, Thus Saith The Lord Word for today? There is only one place, The Tapes.
I could go on and on, quote by quote, but this Message and what Brother Branham said takes a Revelation from God. We must read between the lines by revelation, but say what he said. For It is the PURE WORD.
Questions and Answers for today and what I BELIEVE.
Today, many ministers are saying to the people that by having Home Tape Church we are out of the Word and what Brother Branham said to do. They feel we must go to what they call and consider a church.
There are truly many, many quotes where Brother Branham clearly says this.
Now, you go to some good Full Gospel church and get you a church home.
And I believe that with all my heart, because he said so. But I believe we are doing that by HAVING HOME TAPE CHURCH. Our location isn’t what is important to the Lord. That’s just a building. But our duty to the Lord is to stay with His Word, NOT A LOCATION OR A BUILDING. The location doesn’t save and perfect the Bride, THE WORD DOES.
If I go to a church building, but they have forgotten the MAIN THING: to hear the Voice of God by Pressing Play, and have replaced It by ONLY hearing the ministers preach the Message, will that completely satisfy and feed your soul? It might satisfy your soul, my brother and sister, but it will not satisfy the Bride.
Let me interject here and say there are thousands of people that have no church building to go to. Are they lost? If they don’t have a pastor or church, does that mean they can’t be the Bride? If you live within 100 miles of a church building, do you have to go to that church? But if I live further away, I don’t have to? I must stream a preacher, but I can’t stream the tapes? The physical building is what the prophet is saying is the most important thing we must go to?
Where did the prophet want to bring the Bride to?
If you can’t come here at the tabernacle, get some church somewhere; go to it.
Once again, where is his first choice to send the people? To the Branham Tabernacle, the Word, the tapes. That is what God has provided His Bride to do in this end-time, and we’re doing it every day AND every Sunday.
So I’m not misunderstood. I AM NOT SAYING you must stream the tapes with the Branham Tabernacle to be the Bride. I’m NOT SAYING you shouldn’t go to church. I’m NOT SAYING you can’t listen to ministers. If you believe that, you are off the Word. I’m saying hearing the Voice of God on the tapes is the most important Voice YOU MUST HEAR, and I believe that every pastor should play that Voice, the tapes, in their churches. But they have made every excuse there is TO NOT PLAY THE TAPES. If that is your church, you’re not feeding on the Word.
This is clearly what he did not want to happen and what the people were doing.
And you go to church; don’t set at home, go fishing, and hunting, and things like that on Sunday.
We’re not. We’re uniting around the only thing that will unite the Bride, This Message, This Voice.
Once again, I do believe in going to church. There are many churches around the world that are placing the tapes first in their pulpits, praise the Lord. Do I believe you have to stay at home or you’re not the Bride? NO, NO, NO....I’ve never thought it, never believed it. I just want you to PRESS PLAY no matter where you are or what church you go to.
If you don’t have a Revelation of what he is saying, then you could clearly say, “I don’t have to listen to Brother Branham or even have to AGREE with all he says. He even said so, there are so many other God-called men.”
Go ahead. We notice here, says, “Should we go to another church that disagrees with you?” Sure, I don’t...I’m not the only pebble on the beach, you know. There’s—there’s just other godly men everywhere; I hope I’m one of them.
The Voice of God on the tapes is MY PEBBLE, MY ROCK. It is the Voice I want to hear and the Voice I want the Branham Tabernacle to hear.
If you would like to join us, you are more than welcome, my brothers and sisters. Join us Sunday at 12:00 p.m., Jeffersonville time, as we hear the Voice of God speak and answer many questions you may have on your heart. And hear for yourself if the things I have said in this letter is off the Word and I have misunderstood what God is saying to His Bride.
What he says on the tapes is Thus Saith The Lord. Not what I say he is saying, or what I believe he is saying, and ONLY God can give you the true Revelation.
Bro. Joseph Branham
